Friends, do I want this dress?

I'm a maxi dress enthusiast. I wear them all the beautiful warm days. They're comfortable, flattering, and transition from home to a night out flawlessly.

Well, Mark claims to have made a winter maxi dress. I've never worn one in the cold weather months. Do I want this dress?

It's $38.00 and the site says:
Perfect for holiday parties, our dress looks amazing even after the clock strikes twelve! That's the magic of this maxi–it's comfy in soft, stretchy jersey but also has all the glamour of a gown with a gathered, elasticized waist and a flirty, peek-a-boo lace back (shown on opposite page). 95% viscose/5% spandex. Imported. 60" L from center back to hem (on medium).

What say you?

How does a balding girl do her hair?

Like so...

As you know I haz hair issues. The amount that is still falling out is enough to make me cry some days. I've tried extensions and wigs and they really do make me look like my old self again, but I just don't want to have to wear them every day. This weekend I managed to make my hair look normal, cover the thin spot, and feel confident enough to leave the house with my hair down.

Enter: Mark and Avon Hair Care

The wave defining gel and hairspray worked SO well.

I think the root lifting treatment was the real key though. I had so much volume in my pathetic little hair!

(My hair is usually so thin in back I have to cover my scalp with a bun.)

Specially formulated with unique styling and holding properties to build fuller body and added thickness. 

Adds brilliant lift and texture where you need it most. 5 fl. oz. $4.99

I'm a cheap-o when it comes to products so I'm happy to find something that works AND is a good price point. This bald gal gives 'em two thumbs up.

Husband goes to the beach, I internet shop.

Not totally a balanced deal, but beggars can't be choosers.

My husband's dad sent him a plane ticket to come see him in Florida... no kids allowed. No kids? No me. So he took off this morning on his solo beach vacation.

(Stifling raging jealousy....)

So I did what I always do when I'm anxious and jealous: took an Ativan and bought some stuff. I'm sure there will be plenty more Ativans taken and pretty things purchased.

Today:

Shopping the Mark. Store

I bought the Hampton's Beach Look and I'm going to pretend that's where I'm going.

Then I bought the most fabulous acne lotion known to man. I need my skin to be tip-top for the Hamptons:

Break-Out Plan

Bonus? It came with free eye treatment pads.

And I shall keep on shopping...

Hurry! I need friendly fashion advice!

OK, I'm a boring, hoodie, all black clothes generally kinda gal. For some reason this jacket has caught my eye for Spring. I have a bunch of maxi dresses I want to wear it over.

Before I click "BUY," your thoughts?:

(I already have the shirt the girl in the lower right has on.)

Is it too "Members Only?"

Sunday Sharing - Share with you, share with me.

My entire adult life I have thought that hair products were akin to snake oil. I didn't think there was possibly anything some overpriced product could do that would fix this mop atop my head. After I got my extensions, I was forced to buy certain types of products to take extra good care of them. I'm cheap so I bought some inexpensive products to try.

I'm a changed gal.

Since I have to actually "do" my hair now, I'd like to get as much time in between washings as possible.

mark Mega Volume Next Day Spray $6.00"Refresh hair between shampooing, helps remove build-up and reduces the appearance of oil. 6 fl. oz."
 It's freakin' awesome.

I also love love love the mark. Salon Straight products. It does exactly what the name implies. I look like I actually had my hair straightened and styled at the salon.

Now YOU talk to ME!

I've had a membership to a gym. I've owned all kinds of exercise equipment. I've tried juice cleanses and supplements. Nothing has ever worked for me because I don't stick with it. Nursing and baby-wrangling have been the diets of the century for me. From those two things alone I have lost 65lbs in 9 months. Now, if I could tone up without actually doing anything, well that would just be rad. Enter these:

Lots of different brands make them, and I was wondering if any of you have tried them or if you know someone who knows someone that has killer legs now because of them.

Makeup Artist Tip

I think I may be in denial about how old I look. When I'm at the store purchasing a bottle of wine and I don't get carded, I think "Wow. You're just going to let this incredibly underage looking person pass on through?? It's your ass, lady."

Then a few things snapped me back into reality:
 Louis informed me that I needed a time machine in order to look like my business card picture again. (Jerk)
A bagger at Kroger called me ma'am.(Jerk)
I discovered I'm 13 years older than my adult cousin's girlfriend. (How is that possible when I'm only 21?)
I was talking to someone who was too young to know who Bell Biv Devoe was.
 "You know, BBD? Poison?"
Nope.
 "You never trust a big butt and a smile?"
Nope.
 "Smack it up flip it rub it down OH NOOOOOOOs?"
Now you just sound gross.

Anyway, I digress. One of the first things to happen to skin as it ages is a loss of radiance. That dewy, rosy, youthful look you had at 20? Yeah, not so much at 30.

Enter radiance powder.

I bought Mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder for $12.

I brushed it on my face, neck, and chest and it gave me a healthy, glowy, youthful look. It's not a deep bronze, so I didn't have this weird unnatural tan in February. It just made me look healthy.

The only thing I didn't like was the brush it came with. It put it on a little heavy and streaky, so I used a kabuki brush instead.

I'd highly recommend it, especially in these drab winter months.

This stuff makes my hair look amazing.

Oooooh I LOVE the clothes...

I bought all of the pieces on the models. I.Am.In.Love. The clothes fit so well. I can make a million different outfits with them. They don't fit like teenager clothes. So in love. The t-shirt feels EXACTLY like a Juicy Couture shirt that cost $65.

Britt Bardo, you are a gem.
